I love animals, but please test antipsychotics on them before you test them on me. That's right, I said it. I'll still take antipsychotics though, just after the animals try 'em. I'll explain...

Does anyone have a problem with humans testing antipsychotic drugs on animals? Personally, I don't. I love dogs as you all know, and I know Seroquel gave beagles catarax during testing er something, but I guess I just think I don't mind humans testing antipsychotics on animals before humans for precautionary reasons. Maybe one day I will give up eating bacon, beef, fish, and chicken, but not so fast Lee Corso. I mean, chickens can live for months without a head somehow, as long as you feed them with a straw er something so me Ma always told me it's okay to eat them as well as fish (I'm sure you've all heard at some point that "they have no feelings") but not pigs and cows. Ha. Seriously. And me Ma still needs a Caravan...

Shawnee it's your birthday,

Happy birthday Shawnee.

Hector it's your birthday,

Happy birthday Hector.

My dog Shawnee...the next therapy dog?

Well, I went to dog obedience class tonight, which was fun and educational as always : ), and I talked to my friend/obedience trainer Lois a.k.a. Auntie Dobe R. Mann about one of my dogs or possibly two becoming therapy dogs so I can take them into psychiatric wards and cheer people up and stuff. I thought Shawnee (my German Shepherd/Border Collie mix) and Tatum (my Yellow Lab/Shar Pei mix er somethin') rather than Hector (my beagle) would be better candidates for this because the girls in my pack our quicker learners with a little more spunk than ole chubby stubborn fat beagle Hector, even though the weird thing is that Hector actually has better social skills than Shawnee and Tatum. Hector has never shown aggression once...no teeth, no growling, no biting, no lip curling, no funny eye contact, nothin', whereas Tatum and Shawnee show aggression towards other dogs .1% of the time. Lois said though that both Tatum and Shawnee would make great candidates for therapy dogs with possibly Shawnee being the better candidate on account of Tatum's shyness. That makes me a little sad just because Tatum is so damn responsive and devoted to me, which is really cool, it's just that around some strangers she is a shy for some reason which makes me wonder if Tatum's gets her anxiety from me. Also, if a dog is a therapy dog, I guess you want it to be really anxiety-free around strangers so that they can pet the dog and stuff without the dog trying to move away. Oh well, Shawnee might make a good therapy dog, and I'd like that. Even if she is a German Shepherd mix, who's to say they are an "aggressive breed?" Just look at this friendly alien-eyed gal...

Shawnee is never aggressive, she is just high-energy. And by that I'm not saying, "My dog bites people because she is bored and high-energy." That is me saying, "My dog never bites people, but unfortunately she will occasionally run around a lot at full-speed and for a 60 lb.+ German Shepherd mix sadly this can knock over a child." One thing that's kind of funny though, even though Shawnee is a German Shepherd/Border Collie mix, she looks just like a smaller version of a German Shepherd and thus a German Shepherd puppy, and therefore everyone who sees her wants to pet her, which is fine with me. I actually enjoy that, because it gives me a reason to talk to people as well as something to talk about. Hehe...that makes me glad Shawnee got all of her Dad's looks (the German Shepherd), but her Mom's size (the Border Collie). When I found out I was getting Shawnee I first heard I was getting a purebred Border Collie which I loved hearing, then I later found out she is part German Shepherd which disappointed me a little, but now I am happy about it after discovering what a great dog she is. I must admit the first 6 months of owning Shawnee I did almost fall into both the "Border Collie trap" as well as the "puppy trap." I just want to point this out so people who read all of my dog posts aren't inspired to go buy a dog or three without any knowledge of dogs like I kind of did. First, the puppy trap is adopting a puppy then realizing how much work they are shortly after so then getting rid of it. Second, the Border Collie trap is adopting a Border Collie specifically because they are the smartest of all dogs completely underestimating their herding instincts and puppy-like lifelong high-energy level and then later getting rid of it. A couple times even I must sadly admit I wanted to get rid of Shawnee. Three 8-week training classes and a lot of love and education later, there is no way in hell we would ever get rid of Shawnee. She may have the potential to be my greatest dog yet. Wow, this dog post is getting lengthy. Next trick on the agenda for Shawnee, get her to pick something up and hold it in her mouth. Well, possibly. If we're lucky.

The Dog Whisperer is the greatest show ever. Hail Cesar!!

And sorry the site was down for so long!!...

I remember a couple months ago on Nat Geo (National Geographic Channel a.k.a. the best channel ever) there was a week where they counted down the top voted Dog Whisperer episodes, and you know what was voted the all-time #1 Dog Whisperer episode?? None other than the episode where a woman with panic disorder trains one of her dogs to be her service dog. Rock on!! It just may show that there is such a thing as animal therapy, and it also goes to show that there may be such a thing as animal therapy thanks to Caesar Milan. Speaking of Dog Whisperer's, there is one at the PetSmart here in Flint, MI and her name is Lois. I know I don't have many friends in this game of life, but I really like Lois. I think it's so cool how her Doberman Pinscher named "Star" can seriously do almost anything Lois sets her mind to. I also find it fascinating that Lois can walk eleven Doberman Pinschers at once. And on top of that, I feel so cool when Lois asks me for advice on web pages. It's like, "Wow...I should be asking you for advice on how to turn one of my dogs into one of your Doberman's." And you've got to really respect a dog trainer because they could probably go on for hours on what you're doing wrong with your dog, but they just kindly focus on the simple mistakes that your making with your pooch. And you know what else is coo?? My neighbors/friends Heather and Patrick are having a baby (whom they've found out will be a boy), and they are contemplating naming the child "Zachary." Ha. Awesome!! I don't know if that would partially be naming the child after their neighbor (muwah) or because they really like the name, but I really hope they name the child Zachary. That would just be cool I think. Another name they've thrown out there is "Aidan" (as well as other names), a name I probably like more than Zachary. But ya never know, maybe the baby will be named, "Zachary Aidan Shaw" (Shaw being Heather's and Patrick's last name). Rings a bell somewhat, don't it? Well, maybe..."Zachary Adam Odette"..."Zachary Aidan Shaw"...?? Well, maybe. Anyway, I hope there baby grows up to be just like them. They seem like great people.

If I ever had a visual hallucination of the devil I would just commit suicide, and if I got sent to hell after death, then well, I would just commit suicide there too and see where it takes me...hopefully to the hot porn star below!!

And sorry the site was down for so long!

No one likes a quitter Zachary. Haha. Well F*#% you! Just kidding. I'd never kill myself. I'm just too dog-gone happy. Literally. I just may be becoming happier in the game of life partially thanks to animal therapy. Well, I should say I'm happier thanks to "dog therapy" and not "animal therapy" because no other animals are involved. Just dogs. For example, dogs rule and cats suck. And lemme tell ya why...If your pet cat were twice the size of you, it would hunt you and eat you. With dogs, that isn't the case. If my dogs were twice the size of me I would still be part of the pack 'cause we're cool like that. Also, dog is man's best friend while cat is anti-social.

Would you legally change your first name to "Bubba 90" to have sex with this woman who happens to be a porn star named Celeste Star as many times as you wanted for one month?... Hell yea!! Bubba 90 Odette in the house!!

I got "Bubba 90" from a license plate to be honest : ) Haha.

Tatum and Shawnee eat Wellness Core dog food. Hector remains on Blue Buffalo brand.

And oh yea, sorry the site was down for so long!

I probably don't know much about dog food. In fact, I'm probably the last person who should give advice on what dog food a dog should eat. Haha...<===altered Homer Simpson line sorta. Anyway, I do know that if the general public of dog owners is anything like me, they are under the assumption that if they feed their dogs a certain type of dog food then their dog will become like Lassie or Rin Tin Tin and may later go own to save their owner's life simply on account of eating the incredible dog food they feed them. Yea, I'm pretty stupid that way. But that is why I have studied dog foods recently by reading dog food magazines and asking friends whom are dog owners and also even dog trainers for dog food brand feeding advice lately. According to a friend of mine whom is also a dog trainer at PetSmart, Blue Buffalo brand is one of the better brands of dog food that PetSmart has to offer. That is the brand she feeds all of her Dobermans except for one which is fed some really, really expensive brand called Honest Kitchen er something. My friend/thee trainer also said Nutro Ultra is a good dog food brand which PetSmart sells if I remember correctly. Of other brands she said are pretty good (which unfortunately aren't sold at PetSmart) are Innova, California Natural, Wellness, and Solid Gold (which is actually sold at Petco and probably other places, yet not PetSmart where she works) just to name a few. I don't care how expensive dog food is, to some reasonable extent of course, I just want my dogs to live as long as possible. This is why I taught one of my three dogs to run on the treadmill, after watching Dog Whisperer perform this stunt with dogs repeatedly. Go Shawnee go!!....

In fact, recently a hallucination refrained from harassing me after suddenly witnessing my dog on a treadmill and remarked, "Wow. That little dog can haul ass!!" Ever since then, the hallucination and I (whom I nicknamed "The Rick" after an old ESPN commercial character) have been best friends : )

Just kidding.

Blah. I don't know what I'm talking about now. Too much Mackinac Island Fudge coffee at too late an hour. Any whom, that is all probably stupid, so here is something you all might actually like seeing...more pictures of my dogs!

Here is just a picture of Shawnee trying to play with Tatum with Tatum seeming uninterested.

Here is my chubby uncle beagle Hector sleeping on my bed. This is what happens when your bed is a dumb yoga-like mattress which remains on the ground...You find your old chubby beagle sleeping on it every time he gets the chance!

This is a funny picture from a couple months back when the weather was warmer, and my neighbors and their dog (Shawnee's best friend "Tootsie" a.k.a. Young Labrador) would jump in their little swimming pools together. In this particular photo it appears Shawnee and Tootsie are having a contest to see who can drink all of the water in their pool first.

Okay, I am gonna end this post now since I must watch the Dog Whisperer where in an episode Caesar teaches a dog to make pancakes while doing its owner's taxes pending the dog's owner establishing calm assertiveness.

I like music, but music doesn't like me. Cha cha cha.

If you steal that line from me then you're mentally ill. Just kidding. It's yours. Blah. I don't know what I'm talking about.

Sorry, Chester Cheetah, er whatever his name is, is gone for now for table width purposes. I know I'm going to die a virgin because of this post. Blah.
